GV Victoria - All students have academic, professional or personal goals in learning English, but GV Victoria’s Business English students, as current or soon-to-be professionals, are particularly focused on the results of their learning.

Each rotation has specific learning outcomes connected to hands-on, real-world tasks that help students be competitive in the international workplace.

After 12 weeks, Business English students will have gained a set of language skills that enable them to use English with confidence in their day-to-day work. Examples include: writing formal letters, conducting interviews, developing business plans, marketing, and negotiating using natural expressions.

Need Precision and Speed? Consider Taking IELTS IELTS teachers at GV Vancouver are well-known for their experience and expertise. But how does that translate into student success?

The IELTS Reading test is a good example. One recent graduate named Thomas says, “Originally I thought I didn’t need an IELTS prep course. I thought I could just improve on my reading skill and learn new words on my own. However, I found that my IETLS score didn’t improve. One important skill the IELTS prep course taught me is HOW to evaluate a question before responding to it. Now I can respond to questions more precisely and do it much faster.”

Ultimately, the most important outcome of an IELTS prep course is getting the score you need. And we see our students do this every session. “I'm writing to say thanks to my teacher Aaron and all Global Village staff,” writes Elvis, another recent IELTS grad. “Because the course helped me to achieve the IELTS score I needed on my first try.” Read More >> Student Success Stories and Some Surprising Life Benefits at GV Calgary 1.
